Nia — The Deep Roots of Purpose

Nia — The Deep Roots of Purpose https://www.spreaker.com/episode/nia-the-deep-roots-of-purpose--71364217 The wind is coming. Can your roots hold you? We spend so much time worrying about the "weather" of our lives—the politics, the economy, the daily drama—that we forget to check our foundation. We’ve been conditioned to believe that "purpose" is something we achieve by doing more, earning more, and being more. But Nia (Purpose) isn't about the branches; it's about the roots. It’s about the Divine objective that remains once you've scraped away all the noise. Today, we're challenging the Tribe to stop "building" and start "shedding." Are you ready to find out what's left when the illusions are gone? Call to Inaction: "The heavy load only breaks the back of the one who refuses to set it down." Take a moment today to release the unnecessary. What "branch-work" (performing for others) can you stop doing immedi...

The Gina Gee Project "Cream Of Wheat"

The Gina Gee project is a show that my daughter created. She saw me making video, and been watching YouTube​ and decided to do her own thing. For the last year she and her sister Ms. Shasha have been recording video using up all of my storage space, and figured that it was time to support her. Her first video is about making Cream of wheat. She in a dramatic fashion microwave her breakfast and teaches the viewer. I believe that when our children show interest and dedication to something we should support them. This might be a phase, but I am trying to use it as what our ancestors call a "lure to Mastery".

All these are transferable skills that can be used in pursuit of her life's purpose.

Django - Controversy

Image
Here is a response to an article that I read about Spike Lee and the Movie "Django Unchained" The article can be found: Morris W. O'Kelly This was my first time writting a response on Huffington Post and I was not aware of a word limit, so I figured hey this is a post on my blog. Check it out but first check out the excellent article by Mr. O'Kelly I was not  aware of all the controversy that surrounded Django, and Spike Lee. I am glad I did not hear about it until after I seen the movie. I do agree with  with Mr. O'Kelly about Spike's commitment to our community, that I feel can not be questioned. All anyone has to do is look at Mr. Lee's track record and see the love affair he has with Black people and our history. By understanding his love affair it makes it easier for others to understand his anger when it comes to Tarantino and his film making. I have seen many of Tarantino's films, and often wondered why he felt it so necessary to riddl...
